About Wayne Holcomb

Offices in Newport News, Virginia Beach, Hampton, and Yorktown. Holcomb Law focuses on Family Law, General and Family Mediation, Criminal Defense, and Personal Injury and is Changing the Way that Hampton Roads is Thinking about Law Firms. Lawyers should be approachable. About Me: Like many of you, I ain't from around these parts! I was stationed here as a Navy pilot, and when I retired, I became a Virginia resident. I grew up in Kansas farm houses without indoor plumbing. Imagine where the "bathroom" was! Then we moved up-to a trailer. I see now that, as far as amenities go, I was about a generation behind the rest of America, but it was not until I went to college that I realized how rural and poor we were. I really didn’t care. Nearly everything I know that matters today I learned in church. I learned about service, that God Himself is concerned about hurting people, and that we should be too. I attended Oral Roberts University in Tulsa,OK for my undergraduate degree and became the first person in my family ever to graduate from college. For the next era of my life, for 20 years, I flew airplanes off aircraft carriers for the U.S. Navy.(By the way, do you know the definition of a successful carrier arrested landing? You walk away!) While serving on active duty, I was able to complete my Master’s Degree, an MBA, from Old Dominion University, working during the days and attending classes at night. When you start from nothing, you need to work hard to change your life. It was in grad school that I discovered mediation. This discovery truly changed my life. What if Court was our LAST option, rather than the first? When I retired from the Navy, I enrolled in law school at Regent University School of Law in Virginia Beach on the G.I. Bill. I had planned for this day for nearly 20 years. At Holcomb Law, we are changing the paradigm; it's not difficult here. It's more than our tagline, “You Matter Here” is how we practice.
